Server Overselling

Server Overselling

Overselling is selling more disk space or bandwidth per hosting account than actual capacity on the server, with the expectation that most people will never actually come close to using their full quotas. So a hosting company that oversells can sell at least 10 or even 100 times the amount of space and bandwidth PER SERVER than each server is actually capable of handling. This is how hosting companies can offer huge amounts of space and bandwidth for extremely low prices. This practice allows many accounts per server, keeping expenses down and cranking profits way up, and making it LOOK like there is all this space and bandwidth available to every account. There is not.

It is similar to an airline overselling plane tickets. If a flight is oversold and all passengers with paid-for tickets show up, then some passengers get involuntarily bumped to another flight. However, this cannot be done with hosting servers.

All it takes is a handful of accounts on an oversold server coming close to their quotas, and the whole server becomes unstable. This affects not just the web sites that exceed quotas, but every web site on the server is affected. At the very least, overselling results in frequent sluggish, bogged-down performance and brief "hiccups" in which the server chokes while it tries to keep up with demand. Ultimately, overselling can result in downtime of at least several hours or even days at a time.

Consider the odds: The more accounts on a server, the more likely it is that on a very regular basis at least a handful of them will exceed their quotas.

We do not believe in gambling with customers' web sites that way. You get what you pay for. Our prices are a little higher than our largest competitors, because the hosting quotas are based on REALITY, not on deception. We add high-performance, quality servers as necessary, provide the fastest and highest-quality premium bandwidth to EVERY hosting account, hire the best-quality expert server techs, and provide responsive, fast, one-on-one, English-speaking, NON-outsourced, knowledgeable support to each and every customer on a personal basis. If you are NOT willing to gamble with your own web site, and you need the dependability that comes with professional, reliable server management and dependable. personal support, DPLwebmarketing.com is your home for web hosting.
